==History==
The first ski jumping hill on the [[Mühlenkopf]] mountain was built in 1925, and its ceremonial opening took place in 1926. In 1950, it was expanded to the size of a large ski jumping hill with an inrun tower, and the inauguration took place on 14 January 1951. The Mühlenkopfschanze was the fourth largest at that time ski jump in the world.

The first World Cup competition in Willingen took place in the [[1994–95 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup|1994/95 season]]. Initially, they were held every two years, but for many seasons Willingen has been a permanent fixture in the annual World Cup calendar.

In 2000, the facility underwent a thorough modernization, the old ski jumping hill with wooden starting tower was demolished and a new one was built in its place, where distances over 140 meters were possible. The K-89 normal hill, which was located directly next to the large K-120, on its right side, was closed down. The facility has artificial lighting and the audience capacity is 23,500.<ref>{{cite web|title=Willingen - HS 147 m|url=https://www.skijumping.pl/skocznie/28/muhlenkopfschanze|publisher=skijumping.pl|access-date=25 November 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Mühlenkopfschanze, Willingen|url=https://www.skisprungschanzen.com/EN/Ski+Jumps/GER-Germany/HE-Hesse/Willingen/0600-M%C3%BChlenkopf/|publisher=skisprungschanzen.com|access-date=25 November 2023}}</ref>

Since the [[2017–18 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup|2017/2018 season]], the World Cup competitions in Willingen have been part of the [[Willingen Five 2018|Willingen Five]] series (in 2021, the name was changed to Willingen Six, when the last edition of the tournament was held).

History

[edit]

The first ski jumping hill on the Mühlenkopf mountain was built in 1925, and its ceremonial opening took place in 1926. In 1950, it was expanded to the size of a large ski jumping hill with an inrun tower, and the inauguration took place on 14 January 1951. The Mühlenkopfschanze was the fourth largest at that time ski jump in the world.

The first World Cup competition in Willingen took place in the 1994/95 season. Initially, they were held every two years, but for many seasons Willingen has been a permanent fixture in the annual World Cup calendar.

In 2000, the facility underwent a thorough modernization, the old ski jumping hill with wooden starting tower was demolished and a new one was built in its place, where distances over 140 meters were possible. The K-89 normal hill, which was located directly next to the large K-120, on its right side, was closed down. The facility has artificial lighting and the audience capacity is 23,500.[3][4]

Since the 2017/2018 season, the World Cup competitions in Willingen have been part of the Willingen Five series (in 2021, the name was changed to Willingen Six, when the last edition of the tournament was held). Its winners were, chronologically, Kamil Stoch, Ryōyū Kobayashi, Stephan Leyhe and Halvor Egner Granerud. The main prize in this mini-cycle was 25,000 euros.
